If you're in #Boston and love old computers, electronics, and games, check out the MIT Swapfest flea market. First meeting this year is April 20th.
I went a few times last year and saw some wild things like Commodore 64s, Apple ][s, a NeXT cube, and tons of video games. I also saw a lot of old radio equipment and miscellaneous electronics parts.
I'm looking for a small (ideally up to 14" at most) CRT #TV that works correctly with my (RF) #PAL #SEGA #MasterSystem II at both 50 and 60 Hz (so it needs to have working #PAL60 support...)
Does anyone in Sweden 
has one to sell? 
(please boost...)

Ok to my eternal shame I have to send the Amiga to someone else to repair, arthritis and eye problems have won, who’s best in the UK to do it? #RetroComputing
Wait… I’m not going to have been the first to realise this, but:

It feels like there are less active #retrocomputing #youtube channels these days. Or am I imagining it?
I've also noticed that most of them that are still active now release their latest videos on a Saturday (in the morning for me, as I'm in the UK), which means by the middle of the week, there's nothing left to watch... 
Other than the usual large #retrocomputing and #retrogaming youtubers, can anyone suggest some good channels that are worth looking at?
40 years ago today, on April 8, 1985, the Atari ST was introduced. It quickly sold 50,000 units because it gave a Mac-like experience at a much lower price. But ultimately it was more successful in Europe than in the USA. #RetroComputing #Atari https://dfarq.homeip.net/atari-st-introduced-april-8-1985/
In the light of #amigapril, here's level 5 of our 1992 #Amiga game Hoi. Having a #demoscene background, we wanted to create a crazy level with psychedelic demo-like effects.
Later, the level turned out to form a stress test for emulators and video compression. 
Bon ça fait longtemps que j'ai envie d'ouvrir une boutique en ligne pour vendre les bidules que je conçois notamment pour les vieux ordis…
Sauf que je doute arriver à gérer la production + les envois…
Et de ce que je sais, Tindie n'aide pas vraiment avec les histoires d'envoi à l'étranger… Y a bien WP + woocommerce, mais bon.
Sinon quelqu'un qui aurait déjà une boutique et s'occuperait des commandes si j'envoie du stock ?
First old computer project during my leave from work was ticked off today. This being a Pentium Pro 200MHz system that will be running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.
I have always had a soft spot for the Pentium Pro, even though it wasn't popular due to its poor 16bit performance.
The video card is a Matrox G450 PCI. I have 128MB RAM for the system and a 30GB PATA HDD. The case came with a 3.5" floppy drive and Sony CDROM (I think 24x-ish).
Windows NT 4.0 is still sealed, so that'll mean the boot floppies wont have any mould on them.

Also bizarre: ST.GAME is a one-off magazine name change, from Softline. And here it's a dungeon crawl game in BASIC, ported from Applesoft to Atari BASIC for the 8-bit. NOT for Atari ST (this is 1984, a year before the ST comes out).
I'm not typing this in, and the "text" PDF is as usual completely useless.

Bizarre retrocomputing find: Hardcore Computist magazine for Apple ][, which is apparently all "how to pirate this particular disk" columns and letters.
https://archive.org/details/computist
On other systems, there were a few copy programs and ROM dump cartridges, but it wasn't that big a deal. The idea that you'd run a magazine with cheats & hacking commands is bizarre.

It's that time of evening when I start shopping for an Apple IIe Platinum on eBay again #retrocomputing
The 1980s Computer, French Style - Should you travel around Europe, you may notice that things in France are ever so ... - https://hackaday.com/2025/04/07/the-1980s-computer-french-style/ #frenchcomputers #retrocomputing #matraalice
This Tuesday noon PST / 8pm GMT / 9pm CET (https://dateful.com/eventlink/2549161210) it’s the Little Tuesday Amiga Stream over on https://twitch.tv/DidierMalenfant 
The tutorial level for Spelunky is exported and now we are moving on to some level generating stuff to add the final bits to it.
See you then!
I have to say that seeing a Bendix G-15 in the metal flesh is even more fun after seeing all those Usagi Electric YT videos!
The Simpsons Screen Saver CD-ROM also works great on the Macintosh... I just installed it onto my Basilisk II emulation system and Mac OS 8.1. I love the Simpsons icon collection! 
Again, here's the link (Windows/Mac):

Wooo - need to write some disks for it … and probably fix the disk drives, or maybe try to get a GoTek working #RetroComputing
